Creamy Vegan Pumpkin Pudding is not only dairy free and gluten free, but is also free of the top 8 allergens! Everyone can decorate their own pudding cup for a fun holiday activity!
This post is sponsored by Enjoy Life Foods. All opinions are entirely my own. I am a pretty big fan of their products and company! Not only are all of their products gluten free, but they are all free of the top 8 allergens (dairy, eggs, wheat, peanuts, soy, fish, shellfish, tree nuts) AND casein free, sesame-free and free of sulfites. Everyone is my entire family can enjoy Enjoy Life Food’s products! (and I can never keep enough of their Plentils on hand to satisfy my hubby’s cravings.) Thanks for supporting Flippin’ Delicious™ and the companies that I work with!
Pumpkin is, and always has been, one of my favorite holiday flavors. I stock up on pumpkin during the holidays so that I can eat it all year round.
One of my favorite pumpkin flavor combos is pumpkin and chocolate.
I grew up eating {now} gluten free pumpkin chocolate chip muffins all year long. I loved making them with my mom.
That flavor combo has bled into my adult life. Gluten free dairy free pumpkin swirl brownies and gluten free pumpkin spice brownie cookies.
Pumpkin and chocolate are even better together than apart!
Which is why when Enjoy Life Foods released their brand new Baking Chocolate Snack Packs my first instinct was to create these vegan pumpkin pudding cups, customized with mini chocolate chips and a few of Enjoy Life Foods Mini Crunchy Vanilla Honey Grahams.
I whisked together a quick and easy vegan pumpkin pudding and layered it in glasses with crushed Mini Vanilla Honey Graham Crunchy Cookies and dairy free whipped topping.
I gave my girls each a Baking Chocolate Snack Pack and a bag of Mini Vanilla Honey Graham Cookies and let them decorate and customize their dairy free pumpkin pudding the way they wanted to!
Ghoolish ghosts! Funny mice! Or just go with a classic sprinkle of mini chips and a couple cookies.
p.s. ghosts look pretty cute on Allergy Friendly Hot Chocolate too!
I loved the way I got the creamy dairy free pumpkin pudding, fluffy whipped topping, and the crunch of the chocolate and cookies in each bite!
How fun would it be to make and serve these DIY vegan pumpkin pudding cups for a Halloween party?
Or even for Thanksgiving! Super kid friendly, but adults love them just as much.
Just spoon the vegan pumpkin pudding into plastic cups and serve with dairy free whipped topping.
Pass out Baking Chocolate Snack Packs and Mini Cookies and dessert becomes a fun activity too!
Vegan Pumpkin Pudding
Creamy Vegan Pumpkin Pudding is not only dairy free and gluten free, but is also free of the top 8 allergens! Everyone can decorate their own pudding cup for a fun holiday activity!
Ingredients
For the vegan pumpkin pudding
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- pinch of cloves
- 2 1/4 cups rice milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
To Serve
- dairy free whipped topping
- Enjoy Life Foods Baking Chocolate Snack Packs
- Enjoy Life Foods Mini Cookies (I used Crunchy Vanilla Honey Grahams)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and spices.
- Add the remaining pudding ingredients and whisk until smooth.
- Bring to a simmer, while whisking occasionally, and then simmer while whisking until thickened.
- Cool the pudding before use. Pour the pudding into a container and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the pudding so it doesn't form a skin and chill in the fridge. OR pour the pudding into a bowl nesting inside a bigger bowl with ice water (be careful to not splash water into the pudding). Whisk until completely cool.
Notes
If the pudding still seems too thick once it is cooled, go ahead and stir in another 1/4 cup of rice milk. If you are using a different dairy-free milk you may need a little more milk because rice milk tends to be thinner than most dairy free milks.
If you have a corn allergy, you can substitute tapioca starch, potato starch , or arrowroot starch for the corn starch in this recipe to make you vegan pumpkin pudding corn free.

You are very welcome!
This looks so good. This year my trick or treaters will be able to pick between stickers, pencils, or bubbles.
we live so remote we don’t have trick or treaters….:(
That is a bummer! I hope that you have a fun Halloween!
We don’t get trick-or-treaters so I take a couple bags of mini candy bars to the office for all the big kids.
Candy definitely isn’t just for the little ones!
Looks totally scrumptious!!
This looks great! My son has a cold right now and I think pumpkin pudding might cheer him up. Thanks for the recipe!
You are very welcome, Leslie! I hope that you and your son enjoyed it.
Too cute! This recipe looks so delicious, Brianna, I cannot wait to share it on my blog.
wow!! These sounds SO delicious!!
Thanks Heather!
I love pumpkin pudding!
Well I can’t buy the candy too early, but when I do it will be whatever stands out- probably little chocolate bars.
Chocolate is always a win!
Since I’m living at college, I won’t hand out candy, but I’m sure I’ll hand out hugs with friends that night during a scary movie marathon!
That sounds like a great way to celebrate!
I’m not sure yet… Probably candy.
Are you planning to have non-food treats for allergy trick or treaters too?
Yes! Halloween stickers and pencils are on hand 🙂 Happy Halloween, Brianna!
Yay! I hope that you have a Happy Halloween too, Edye!
I’m
Total tally making pancakes with this
That sounds like a genius idea! Hope they were delicious!
i give nickles and dimes to trick or treaters
I LOVE it, Sharon! Such a great idea, and all you need is some change.
Love the combo of cinnamon nutmeg and cloves. Sounds so Fallish!
Thanks for the recipe!
You are very welcome Judy!
We are planning on handing out stickers, pencils and Enjoy Life Snack Packs!
I want to stop at your house, Angela!
I wish I had trick or treaters! We are so far out, so unfortunately, I do not plan to give up anything 🙁
That is a bummer Celeste! I hope you have a happy Halloween!
We live in a gated community and we dont get any.
Bummer! I hope you have fun celebrating another way.
i got little boxes of oreos to give out to trick or treaters this year.
Are you giving out any allergy friendly treats this year too?
Apples from the local apple house!!
Those are perfect!
I love Enjoy Life chocolate chips. Thanks for the great recipes. I’m vegan and allergic to a long list of foods including nuts. It’s great to see nut-free dessert recipes.
You are very welcome Ilene! It is great that there are companies like Enjoy Life Foods that make such allergy-friendly products for us custom-eaters.
we gave out organic suckers and mini toys
I did not play this year. 🙁
We had totsie rolls but didnt have any kids.
These look delicious, butttt… Corn is big on the allergy list. Cornstarch is off my list. Powdered sugar as well. Gotta stick with aquafaba and gelatin. From a serious allergy sufferer.
Hi Barb,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I know several people with corn allergies and apologize I didn’t add substitution notes. I would recommend either potato starch, tapioca starch, or arrowroot starch as a substitute. I’ll update the recipe to add my substitution recommendation.
Best,
Brianna
